If you’ve been suffering from cabin fever this winter and dying for the chance to put your camera to work, how about joining us for a field workshop photographing colorful spring flowers. 

Flowers are exploding all over San Francisco and our photo walk will focus on capturing every delicate detail and color. 

Join our resident pro photographer and Canon Live Learning instructor, Dave Henry, in a four-hour classroom in the field shooting session. 

During the workshop we’ll be making some great photographs and working on the fundamentals of composition, depth-of-field, exposure and discuss various menu settings that will have an effect on our photographs. 

We’ll also show you how to use electronic flash to fill in shadows created by the sun and use it to stop the motion of the flower in a breeze. 

This is also your chance to see through a professional photographer’s eye and learn how to find interesting subjects and plan a compelling photograph. 

Don’t miss this inspiring workshop, and learn what it takes to make that next big jump in developing your skills as a photographer.
